Royal Ascot & my outfit

On Wednesday I had an amazing opportunity to go to Royal Ascot. Royal Ascot is Britain’s most important 5 day race event with more than 300 years of history. It attracts many of the world’s finest racehorses to compete for more than £5.5 milllion in prize money and of course it is a great opportunity to show your style and see fabulous outfits and extraordinary hats and fascinators, and men in their tailcoats and top hats <- something I have so far only seen on TV. And for me it also was a great opportunity to see Her Majesty the Queen 😀 Btw all photos you see in this post were taken with my iPhone 6.

And finally my outfit. I kept my look simple. I wore dress from Monsoon (seen here) which I accessorized with fascinator from Debenhams, Michael Kors Dillon handbag from House of Fraser and bracelets from New Look. I did plan to wear heels for Royal Ascot, but since I was feeling quite under the weather in the morning then I decided to go with ballet flats just feel comfy.

Visiting Royal Ascot was an interesting experience. I know nothing about horse racing and so for me that part was kind of boring, but seeing the social life, fashion etc was more my cup of tea. Overall I enjoyed my day and if I could go there again, then I would.

These are great pictures. I love that the cameras on cell phones have gotten better. It makes my purse lighter. No bulky camera. I also love you dress, and admire that you went for flats instead of heels. I always thought it would be fun to strap on a fancy hat and go to the races. When’s the Kentucky Derby? haha
